Book Synopsis Interventions in Banks During Banking Crises by : Mr.Charles Enoch
Download or read book Interventions in Banks During Banking Crises written by Mr.Charles Enoch and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interventions in banks are often an integral element of a government’s program for addressing a systemic banking crisis. Interventions may be warranted because the banks are deeply insolvent or riddled with fraud; they may be requiring substantial liquidity support. In some circumstances closures may be more effective than open bank resolution. There were four major sets of bank closures in Indonesia between November 1997 and March 1999. The initial closures were subject to criticism, but the more recent ones were viewed more positively. This paper looks at these experiences, and draws conclusions about closing banks in a systemic crisis.
Book Synopsis The Real Effects of Financial Sector Interventions During Crises by : Mr.Luc Laeven
Download or read book The Real Effects of Financial Sector Interventions During Crises written by Mr.Luc Laeven and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We collect new data to assess the importance of supply-side credit market frictions by studying the impact of financial sector recapitalization packages on the growth performance of firms in a large cross-section of 50 countries during the recent crisis. We develop an identification strategy that uses the financial crisis as a shock to credit supply and exploits exogenous variation in the degree to which firms depend on external financing for investment needs, and focus on policy interventions aimed at alleviating the bank capital crunch. We find that the growth of firms dependent on external financing is disproportionately positively affected by bank recapitalization policies, and that this effect is quantitatively important and robust to controlling for other financial sector support policies. We also find that fiscal policy disproportionately boosted growth of firms more dependent on external financing. These results provide new evidence of a quantitatively important role of credit market frictions in influencing real economic activity.
Book Synopsis Resolving Bank Failures and Institutions: Is There a Link? Some Empirical Evidence by : Marlon Rawlins
Download or read book Resolving Bank Failures and Institutions: Is There a Link? Some Empirical Evidence written by Marlon Rawlins and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-08-06 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers across countries have been seeking to strengthen the institutional framework to control fiscal costs and feedback effects to the real economy generated by bank failures. On a cross-section of countries, we find evidence that suggests that bank supervisors’ intervention in bank failures may be positively associated with some aspects of the administrative and regulatory framework. Our results appear to hold also during times of financial instability. Finally, we find some evidence that the same institutional features may be associated with lower fiscal outlays during banking crises.
Book Synopsis The Long Shadow of the Global Financial Crisis: Public Interventions in the Financial Sector by : Ms.Deniz O Igan
Download or read book The Long Shadow of the Global Financial Crisis: Public Interventions in the Financial Sector written by Ms.Deniz O Igan and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We track direct public interventions and public holdings in 1,114 financial institutions over the period 2007–17 in 37 countries based on publicly available information. We use aggregate official data to validate this new dataset and estimate the fiscal impact of interventions, including the value of asset holdings remaining in state hands at end-2017. Direct public support to financial institutions amounted to $1.6 trillion ($3.5 trillion including guarantees), with larger amounts allocated to lower capitalized and less profitable banks. As of end-2017, only a few countries had fully divested the initial support they provided during the crisis. Public holdings were divested faster in better capitalized, more profitable, and more liquid banks, and in countries where the economy recovered faster. In countries where the government stake remained high relative to the initial intervention, private investment and credit growth were slower, financial access, depth, efficiency, and competition were worse, and financial stability improved less.
Book Synopsis International Banking Crises by : Benton E. Gup
Download or read book International Banking Crises written by Benton E. Gup and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-10-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial crises that began unexpectedly in Southeast Asia in 1997 spread rapidly around the globe, causing banks to fail, stock markets to plummet, and other newsmaking disruptions. Gup and his contributors examine these failures and crises in the main arenas where they occurred—Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Russia, Argentina—and provide some important answers to the critical questions these frightening events raised. The result is a readable, easily grasped study of issues relating to bank failure and the effectiveness of bank regulation, and important reading for academics and practitioners alike. In July 1997 Thailand devalued its currency. This one event sparked financial crises that spread with astonishing speed from Southeast Asia around the world to Russia. Even in the United States and South America the impact was felt. Southeast Asia had been considered a model—in fact a miracle—of economic growth. No one foresaw the crises that soon occurred there, and the severity and contagion of these crises raised questions globally: What happened? Why? And what can we do about it? Gup and his contributors offer some answers to these critical questions. Gup and his panel finally conclude that government actions were at the root of these crises. Banks were pawns in the hands of governments, and banks helped fuel the booms that ultimately burst, booms supported by investments from other countries around the world, not incidentally. Gup goes on to lay out other provocative questions, among them: How effective are bank regulations? And how do we resolve failed and insolvent banks? The result is an important contribution to the literature in banking, finance, investment, and the role government plays in these activities—a book not only for academics but for practitioners and informed laymen as well.
Book Synopsis Understanding Financial Crises by : Franklin Allen
Download or read book Understanding Financial Crises written by Franklin Allen and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-04-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What causes a financial crisis? Can financial crises be anticipated or even avoided? What can be done to lessen their impact? Should governments and international institutions intervene? Or should financial crises be left to run their course? In the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis, many blamed international institutions, corruption, governments, and flawed macro and microeconomic policies not only for causing the crisis but also unnecessarily lengthening and deepening it. Based on ten years of research, the authors develop a theoretical approach to analyzing financial crises. Beginning with a review of the history of financial crises and providing readers with the basic economic tools needed to understand the literature, the authors construct a series of increasingly sophisticated models. Throughout, the authors guide the reader through the existing theoretical and empirical literature while also building on their own theoretical approach. The text presents the modern theory of intermediation, introduces asset markets and the causes of asset price volatility, and discusses the interaction of banks and markets. The book also deals with more specialized topics, including optimal financial regulation, bubbles, and financial contagion.
Book Synopsis Resolution of Banking Crises by : Mr.Luc Laeven
Download or read book Resolution of Banking Crises written by Mr.Luc Laeven and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a new database of systemic banking crises for the period 1970-2009. While there are many commonalities between recent and past crises, both in terms of underlying causes and policy responses, there are some important differences in terms of the scale and scope of interventions. Direct fiscal costs to support the financial sector were smaller this time as a consequence of swift policy action and significant indirect support from expansionary monetary and fiscal policy, the widespread use of guarantees on liabilities, and direct purchases of assets. While these policies have reduced the real impact of the current crisis, they have increased the burden of public debt and the size of government contingent liabilities, raising concerns about fiscal sustainability in some countries.

Book Synopsis What Happens After Supervisory Intervention? Considering Bank Closure Options by : Mr.Michael Andrews
Download or read book What Happens After Supervisory Intervention? Considering Bank Closure Options written by Mr.Michael Andrews and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Closures have been used to resolve problem banks in many countries in a wide range of economic circumstances, yet banking supervisors frequently defer intervention and closure. Avoiding the costs of disruption is the principal argument in favor of extraordinary measures, such as the use of public funds for recapitalization or forbearance, as alternatives to closing insolvent banks. Well-planned and implemented closure options can preserve essential functions performed by failing banks, mitigating disruption. Extraordinary measures to avoid closure should generally be avoided, but may be used in a systemic crisis to preserve some portion of a widely insolvent banking sector.
Book Synopsis Government Intervention and Bank Market Power: Lessons from the Global Financial Crisis for the COVID-19 Crisis by : Brandon Tan
Download or read book Government Intervention and Bank Market Power: Lessons from the Global Financial Crisis for the COVID-19 Crisis written by Brandon Tan and published by INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic could result in large government interventions in the banking industry. To shed light on the possible consequences on market power, we rely on the experience of the global financial crisis and exploit granular data on government interventions in more than 800 banks across 27 countries between 2007 and 2017. For identification, we use a multivariate matching method. We find that intervened banks experience a significant decline in market power with respect to matched non-intervened banks. This effect is more pronounced for larger and longer interventions and is driven by a rise in costs—mostly because of higher loan impairment charges—which is not followed by a similar increase in prices.
Book Synopsis Systemic Banking Crises Database by : Mr.Luc Laeven
Download or read book Systemic Banking Crises Database written by Mr.Luc Laeven and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We update the widely used banking crises database by Laeven and Valencia (2008, 2010) with new information on recent and ongoing crises, including updated information on policy responses and outcomes (i.e. fiscal costs, output losses, and increases in public debt). We also update our dating of sovereign debt and currency crises. The database includes all systemic banking, currency, and sovereign debt crises during the period 1970-2011. The data show some striking differences in policy responses between advanced and emerging economies as well as many similarities between past and ongoing crises.
Book Synopsis From Systemic Banking Crises to Fiscal Costs by : Mr.David Amaglobeli
Download or read book From Systemic Banking Crises to Fiscal Costs written by Mr.David Amaglobeli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the risk factors associated with fiscal costs of systemic banking crises using cross-country data. We differentiate between immediate direct fiscal costs of government intervention (e.g., recapitalization and asset purchases) and overall fiscal costs of banking crises as proxied by changes in the public debt-to-GDP ratio. We find that both direct and overall fiscal costs of banking crises are high when countries enter the crisis with large banking sectors that rely on external funding, have leveraged non-financial private sectors, and use guarantees on bank liabilities during the crisis. The better quality of banking supervision and the higher coverage of deposit insurance help, however, alleviate the direct fiscal costs. We also identify a possible policy trade-off: costly short-term interventions are not necessarily associated with larger increases in public debt, supporting the thesis that immediate intervention may be actually cost-effective over time.
Book Synopsis Financial Crises Explanations, Types, and Implications by : Mr.Stijn Claessens
Download or read book Financial Crises Explanations, Types, and Implications written by Mr.Stijn Claessens and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the literature on financial crises focusing on three specific aspects. First, what are the main factors explaining financial crises? Since many theories on the sources of financial crises highlight the importance of sharp fluctuations in asset and credit markets, the paper briefly reviews theoretical and empirical studies on developments in these markets around financial crises. Second, what are the major types of financial crises? The paper focuses on the main theoretical and empirical explanations of four types of financial crises—currency crises, sudden stops, debt crises, and banking crises—and presents a survey of the literature that attempts to identify these episodes. Third, what are the real and financial sector implications of crises? The paper briefly reviews the short- and medium-run implications of crises for the real economy and financial sector. It concludes with a summary of the main lessons from the literature and future research directions.
Book Synopsis Banking Crises by : Pearpilai Jutasompakorn
Download or read book Banking Crises written by Pearpilai Jutasompakorn and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), a number of countries suffered banking crises. This thesis comprises three parts on banking crisis prevention and management. The first part identifies banking crisis dates based on market information embedded in banking stocks. Specifically, the daily returns on banking system stock indices from a sample of countries over the period 1995 to 2010 are estimated using a Markov Switching Autoregressive (MS-AR) model to capture regime shift behaviour in both the mean and variance. Overall, evidence of three regimes (bull/bear/crisis) is found and banking crisis dates are identified in all the countries examined. The crisis regime is characterized by higher volatility and lower stock returns. This MS-AR modelling offers an alternative ex-ante method of crisis date identification and our identified crisis dates are, in general, consistent with the IMF's ex-post crisis date classification.The second part of this thesis identifies the determinants of a banking crisis. A sample of developed countries in the U.S., Europe and Australasia are employed to identify whether systemic financial linkages together with conventional microeconomic and macroeconomic variables can be used as determinants of a crisis. Specifically, a panel probit model is estimated to explore determinants over the period from 1998 to 2010 for a sample of 11 countries. The best warning sign of the recent GFC was the interbank the Libor and Overnight Index Swap spread (LIBOR-OIS) which proxies for vulnerability of banking system liquidity. This finding is consistent with multiple instances of wholesale bank runs during the GFC, together with the associated sharp increases in liquidity premiums.The final part of this thesis examines different government intervention tools in response to a banking crisis to provide insight into the effect of changes in crisis management policy, which affect the probability of insulating an economy from the crisis, or alternatively the probability of ending or exacerbating the economy from the crisis. The impact of news announcements of government interventions of the 3 developed countries (the U.S., the U.K. and Japan), together with microeconomic and macroeconomic variables surrounding the period from 2007 to 2009 are estimated using a multi-state (no crisis, successful and unsuccessful defence states of the economies) multinomial logit model. The findings of the analysis for the third part indicate that liquidity policies and non-intervention policies increase the probability of successful defence. This finding is in line with the findings for the second part which suggest that the best predictor of the recent GFC was systemic liquidity shortages among banks. In contrast, monetary policy is ineffective in defending banking crises, as it increases the probability of an unsuccessful defence. In essence, governments and regulators should adopt liquidity policies during periods of banking crises but the findings of this thesis suggest they should not intervene otherwise.
